Evidence synthesis across neurosurgery

We conduct systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and methodological research spanning neuro-oncology, neurovascular disease, spine, and functional neurosurgery — translating the global literature into evidence that guides clinical practice, while training the next generation of physician-researchers.

TAAF Grant: Bioresorbable Closed-Basket Flow Diverter with Therapeutic Microbubbles for Targeted Vascular Drug Delivery

Brandon Lucke-Wold, MD, PhD, together with Chadwin Hanna, has been awarded a TAAF grant to develop a next-generation dissolvable stent for brain aneurysms and AVMs that redirects dangerous blood flow and delivers targeted healing medication directly to damaged vessels using ultrasound — aiming for safer treatments, fewer complications, and better long-term outcomes for patients.
